Repair before selling or sell as-is?

Do not assume £1 spent on repair adds £1 to the sale price.

Get an as-is baseline first

Without a genuine current offer, you do not know what the fault is costing at sale.

Estimate the repair uplift conservatively

Some repairs make a car easier to sell without recovering their full cost.

Include delay and risk

Repairing before sale can expose additional faults and delay the transaction.

Compare both executable routes

A real repair quote and a real buyer offer make this decision far stronger.
